at Do You Know For Sure?
"Do you know it for sure ? Remember that phrase from
yoUr'childhood^afid how important it was ? It differentiated
between the things we glibly said or repeated and those
things which we knew from actual first hand knowledge.
. I wish we needn't have let politeness cause us to drop the
phrase as we grew up. I wish it were still possible to say
"Do you know it for sure?" to those people who are so
prompt and definite about every and all situations.
Yes=*=I admit it—I've been listening to the radio again.
But*I've also been- reading columnists and modern essayists
—and" I've been1 listening to people talk on trains, iri busses,
in restaurants and homes! And it's been all I could do to
keep from saying "Do you, know it for sure?"
There- are-the people who know all about when the war
will bdover/ and what Eisenhower's plans are and where the
State 'Departmeht is wrong and what is going to happen a
week from next Tuesday. (The Gestapo smiles on them.)
There are the people who know all the motives back of
everyone's actions, who tell you glibly just what self-interest
prompts each act, who.musfc have X-ray minds, for they see
what goes on before it happens. (Goebbel's friends they are.)
There are fhe people who know all the bad news, who can
and do talk of the cost of battles,-the" mistakes of commanders, .the: waste, ih lives; dollars and supplies, who can tell all
th'e'i'details of the chaos to follow. (Goering finds them useful.) / :-.■__. • . ' . ...
".There.are the people who sow dissension by setting group
against groups, exaggerating Labor's short comings, pouncing .oh Industry's misdeeds, accusing the farmer of selfishness, stirring,up racial, and rehsppus hatreds by ranks gener-
-alizatio^l^
bers,' £reachin|£ anti-Catholicism and anti-Semitism wholesale/*- (Herir-'Hitler has a special decoration for these-) x
.Therms are the peoples who talk too freely, wh.6 boast of how
they "got around -regulations, who try to outwit the censor,
who brag- of "inside knowledge", who tell of production, troop
movements, ship Sailings, betraying their own for the chance
of appearing smart. (The bells ring in Berlin over the deaths
they cause.)
To all of them—to you—to myself—I say, "Do yeu know it
for sure?"
Seek New Kinds of Jobs
Three-fourths of the veterans discharged from war service
are seeking jobs different from those they held on entering
the service, it has been revealed. Radio engineering is called
the most popular with veterans enrolling for vocational training.
It may have been guessed that the : majority, of veterans
would be so glad to get back to the old home scehes, that the
jobs they formerly held seem very iattractive, but this in-
formatibnhseems to show that their experiences have given
many jof them flew ideas. They have had a- Wider contact
with life .and-people, and the majority so far are apparently
prcWng-'o^cupatiuns^or which they feel some special talent.
Thus the waf experience will make great changes in people's'
lives, afid lead, niany to branch out in unexpected directions.
Internal Weakness
Ohe element of serious weakness in Germany consists of
the 12,000,000 conquered people, who have been f of ced or inducted to come to Germany, to work for their conquerors.
Some-may have beert persuaded to come as the only hope of
getflrig sufficient food, but most of them are probably ih a
mood of bitter rebellion ancLwould commit acts of sabotage if
they dared. Or they might join movements of revolt.
A considerable part of Germany's men have to.be .kept at
home- in Germany to hold down these unhappy people and
keep .thjan terrorized. Germany thought it greatly strength-
enedtits power when it got possession of this great body of
conquered labor.. But it is an element of weakness in a country, that it is so dependent on the work of men and women
who are its enemies.
The Church and The War
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz says that the church, in ministering to the spiritual needs of the fighting forces-,.has made
a solid and greatly appreciated contribution to the Coming
victory. He praises the work of 10,000 American chaplains
who have added a spiritual armament to the fighting forces.
Men go into the experiences of war and battle stronger
and. inore resolute .as the result of the lessons the churches
teach, and which are imparted to them by the chaplains of I
the armed service. Their minds are strengthened and quieted
by words of consolation and encouragement, and the justice
of the American cause is pointed out to them. The man who
believes-that there is a God "over all who1 rules the affairs of
men,- f569 into battle witb/a more.eheerful^heart.
Colin Brown,-' swimming pool di-
rector-and Community -building staff
inember, has announced that- plans

Genal FAn Festival
4 July 2611
Greater Supply, Of Home
Goods Expected Later In Year
Outlook for an increasing supply
of home goods during the next-90
days is not bright, according to Earl
C. Greenho of the firm Lewis and
Greenho, who returned from the
semi-annual furniture market in
Chicago. Improvement, however, Mr.
Greenho painted out, is encouraging
for a greater supply during the last i
three months of.the year providing,
of. course, war news continues favorable.
"Lumber and textile materials are
in such scarce supply, that furniture
manufacturers are reluctant to make
definite commitments. Lumber is the
No. 1 critical material right now because of military needs in war devastated areas. If lumber was the sole
consideration in appraising the supply outlook, I should say that all
our essential requirements would be
met for the remainder of this year.
But 'unfortunately, textiles are causing more worry than-lumber. Duck
requirements for the armed services
are increasing and may result in
conversion of additional looms from
weaving for civilian goods. Il is said
that tenting material is short-lived in
the tropics and unexpectedly " large
amounts of new materials are required. This, together with the fact
that our European invasion armies
Festival Time Means Pun. for
All the Family; Committees
; Complete Plans for Evening
It is festival time again,
time to go carnival playing
with merry making friends
and have an evening of pleasure and complete relaxation.
And the annual Canal Fulton carnival is the time and
'place for the local folks to
gather for fun. Committees
. complete the plans and. assure
I have been working hard to
everyone who attend a good
itime. But now the plans are
.ready, and it is up to every
-person to1 have a good time.
There, will be band music
throughoiit the evening, and the
familiar games and concessions
found at carnivals that provide gay
amusement for all ithe folks. There
will also be plenty of refreshments
■available thrbuigJ-out the evening.
The carnival will be held1 on the
village square where there will be
plenty of room for ithe fun seekers
and also room for the folks who
come to visit with their friends.
• It Children and adults alike will
must live in tents because ^ofi the^musem-atnit suited ito their taste.
At the request of a group of employees of the Hoover Co., the
swimming pool will be opened, at 11
p. fn. each evening this week for
those coming off the eleven o'clock
shift at the Hoover Co., who would
like to go swimming. - * " ■ •.
If enough persons "are interested
in taking a cooling dip at this time
the pool will continue-to be opened
at this hour for the rest of the season.
4-H Club
The last maeting- of the Plain
township"-4-H club was- bald Wednesday, July 19 at the home of Mrs.
R. W. Hinton. , -• •
Sue • Frank- gave a health talk
and each girl -gave a demonstration,
of a, flat felled seam.
At the next sneetihg, to be. held
August 2, Sue Frank will igivei a
demonstration of sewing in a
placket and Virginia Sweitzer will
give a demonstration of mitered
corners.
scorched earth policy of the German-
army general staff, has diverted
large quantities of textiles from the
ordinary civilian supply.
"The National Retail Furniture
Association officers, along with
kindred trade associations, are now
urging that the 20 percent of our
own supply of textiles used for upholstered furniture and bedding
equipment (including studio couches
and sofa beds) now being exported
to Canada, be curtailed in order to
meet the minimum needs of this
country. They are pretty confident
the war production board will limit
exports until this country's actual
needs are met."
"We have been in this war two
and one-half years and somehow nr
other we have been able to get enough
merchandise to meet essential re-
quire.-nenlts of our people and I am
sure we \vill be able to continue supplying them," M-rr Greenho predicted.

The knives are needed for use in
the physical therapy department, to

in the department work.
Any pocket knife, regardless of
its age, is acceptable, as long as it
can still be used. The knives that
are donated will be reconditioned be^

So dig in -your pockets, folks, or
get that old knife out-of the drawer.

Seek New Kinds of Jobs
Three-fourths of the veterans discharged from war service
are seeking jobs different from those they held on entering
the service, it has been revealed. Radio engineering is called
the most popular with veterans enrolling for vocational training.
It may have been guessed that the : majority, of veterans
would be so glad to get back to the old home scehes, that the
jobs they formerly held seem very iattractive, but this in-
formatibnhseems to show that their experiences have given
many jof them flew ideas. They have had a- Wider contact
with life .and-people, and the majority so far are apparently

Internal Weakness
Ohe element of serious weakness in Germany consists of
the 12,000,000 conquered people, who have been f of ced or inducted to come to Germany, to work for their conquerors.
Some-may have beert persuaded to come as the only hope of
getflrig sufficient food, but most of them are probably ih a
mood of bitter rebellion ancLwould commit acts of sabotage if
they dared. Or they might join movements of revolt.
A considerable part of Germany's men have to.be .kept at
home- in Germany to hold down these unhappy people and
keep .thjan terrorized. Germany thought it greatly strength-
enedtits power when it got possession of this great body of
conquered labor.. But it is an element of weakness in a country, that it is so dependent on the work of men and women
who are its enemies.
The Church and The War
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz says that the church, in ministering to the spiritual needs of the fighting forces-,.has made
a solid and greatly appreciated contribution to the Coming
victory. He praises the work of 10,000 American chaplains
who have added a spiritual armament to the fighting forces.
Men go into the experiences of war and battle stronger
and. inore resolute .as the result of the lessons the churches
teach, and which are imparted to them by the chaplains of I
the armed service. Their minds are strengthened and quieted
by words of consolation and encouragement, and the justice
of the American cause is pointed out to them. The man who
believes-that there is a God "over all who1 rules the affairs of
men,- f569 into battle witb/a more.eheerful^heart.

Greater Supply, Of Home
Goods Expected Later In Year
Outlook for an increasing supply
of home goods during the next-90
days is not bright, according to Earl
C. Greenho of the firm Lewis and
Greenho, who returned from the
semi-annual furniture market in
Chicago. Improvement, however, Mr.
Greenho painted out, is encouraging
for a greater supply during the last i
three months of.the year providing,
of. course, war news continues favorable.
"Lumber and textile materials are
in such scarce supply, that furniture
manufacturers are reluctant to make
definite commitments. Lumber is the
No. 1 critical material right now because of military needs in war devastated areas. If lumber was the sole
consideration in appraising the supply outlook, I should say that all
our essential requirements would be
met for the remainder of this year.
But 'unfortunately, textiles are causing more worry than-lumber. Duck
requirements for the armed services
are increasing and may result in
conversion of additional looms from
weaving for civilian goods. Il is said
that tenting material is short-lived in
the tropics and unexpectedly " large
amounts of new materials are required. This, together with the fact
that our European invasion armies
Festival Time Means Pun. for
All the Family; Committees
; Complete Plans for Evening
It is festival time again,
time to go carnival playing
with merry making friends
and have an evening of pleasure and complete relaxation.
And the annual Canal Fulton carnival is the time and
'place for the local folks to
gather for fun. Committees
. complete the plans and. assure
I have been working hard to
everyone who attend a good
itime. But now the plans are
.ready, and it is up to every
-person to1 have a good time.
There, will be band music
throughoiit the evening, and the
familiar games and concessions
found at carnivals that provide gay
amusement for all ithe folks. There
will also be plenty of refreshments
■available thrbuigJ-out the evening.
The carnival will be held1 on the
village square where there will be
plenty of room for ithe fun seekers
and also room for the folks who
come to visit with their friends.
• It Children and adults alike will
must live in tents because ^ofi the^musem-atnit suited ito their taste.
At the request of a group of employees of the Hoover Co., the
swimming pool will be opened, at 11
p. fn. each evening this week for
those coming off the eleven o'clock
shift at the Hoover Co., who would
like to go swimming. - * " ■ •.
If enough persons "are interested
in taking a cooling dip at this time
the pool will continue-to be opened
at this hour for the rest of the season.

scorched earth policy of the German-
army general staff, has diverted
large quantities of textiles from the
ordinary civilian supply.
"The National Retail Furniture
Association officers, along with
kindred trade associations, are now
urging that the 20 percent of our
own supply of textiles used for upholstered furniture and bedding
equipment (including studio couches
and sofa beds) now being exported
to Canada, be curtailed in order to
meet the minimum needs of this
country. They are pretty confident
the war production board will limit
exports until this country's actual
needs are met."
"We have been in this war two
and one-half years and somehow nr
other we have been able to get enough
merchandise to meet essential re-
quire.-nenlts of our people and I am
sure we \vill be able to continue supplying them," M-rr Greenho predicted.
